Mergin Maps: QGIS in pocket

Easy to setup projects and use out in the field. Love it

Not a review but a request for help!!!! This app looks exactly what I need for work for plotting a variety of positions, however through the I store app or on line the app only sais “open”, I cannot find anyway to down load it. Am I missing something?? Thanks

Brilliant little app for field surveys. Obviously there’s always more things that could be added but it’s under active development so can’t wait to see what new features arrive. Thank you Lutra Consulting!

This app has made my job so much easier and quicker! We use input for logging soil sample locations and observations in field. It works and is brilliant. So simple to use and has revolutionised field work!

I have been using Input for surveying trees for the last few months now and it really is a lifesaver. The UI is simple and easy to understand and the cloud service offered, Mergin, works really very well. Once you’ve set up a project inside QGIS and any forms you wish to be filled out you can just plot items to you hearts content. Very impressed. The only improvement I could see atm would be to include a zoom slider on screen so that you can zoom in and put using a stylus. Other than that A++ 👌🏻

We have started to use this app for our surveying work on the UK uplands. The app is great - simple to use. The synchronisation with Mergin and QGIS projects has saved us a lot of time! One feature it is missing though is a dedicated zoom in and out control. It is possible to pinch to zoom, but we often need to wear gloves when surveying in the winter and having buttons for zoom controls would help massively. Also, the option to turn layer visibility on and off would be a useful addition.

This app is wonderful to work with and offers so many possibilities. Full marks from me.

I used to use QField for work, & it was great. Not nearly as user friendly as Mergin Maps, but it worked great. This app has countless problems that really need addressing. One immediate problem I can think of is that the app will crash if you click the GPS button on the bottom middle of the screen. Every single time. There are lots of frustrations I have while using this app & they cost me a lot of unnecessary time. Please look into all the things that make this app crash. If you would like a list of all the crashes, I could easily compile this for you guys. A few more issues: the app will refresh if you have it closed for more than a couple minutes, forcing me to have to turn off all the map layers that im not going to use. Another annoying one is that misc notes aren’t translucent, & they take up a massive portion of the screen when trying to view the map. Please make them less obstructive. It says the app doesn’t collect data but you guys should honestly start collecting user data & user crash logs.

I have been using Mergin for the past three years, first for my Masters research and now for my PhD. This app allows me to visualize and navigate to field sites on my phone (offline!), collect data at each point, and have my projects sync seamlessly with the cloud for later download and use in QGIS. I have multiple projects in Mergin and have used about 1/10 of my free storage limit, so the free storage is plenty to get me through all of grad school and beyond. Would recommend without hesitation to anyone doing field research.

This is a very good tool. I am using for personal use but monthly subscription for commercial uses or higher storage limit is more than I can afford.
